Hi What's with the fainting? What do you contribute it too? Sure hope things get going better for you. How you doing now?lol gailHallarious woman over 50 ,CD ,IBS 27 years--resection,fistula's,obstructions,and still alive.lol gail

Navy - you can do this!! I'm sure you advisor was trying to say "its ok if you need a break." I hope you get to the bottom of the fainting. Make sure you are getting some calories in and electrolytes. I'll be thinking of you!26 Year old married female law student (last year!!). Diagnosed w/ CD 4 years ago, IBS for over 10 years before that, which was probably the CD. I am sort of lactose intollerant too but can handle anything cultured and do well w/ lactose pills and lactaid. For crohns I am currently on Pentasa 4 pills/4x day and hysociamine prn. I also have bad acid reflux and have been on PPI's since age 13. I have been through prilosec, prevacid, and nexium. Currently I am on Protonix in the morning and Zantac at night. I also take a birth control pill to allow some fun in my life.

Not really sure about what to do. I hope that was what my advisor was saying. I have some speciality appointments today, to get further evaluated. I hope it is just dehydration (and the room was well over 100 degrees-no ac), and not heart problems again. I went to student health and they loaded me up for dehydration, but still have a horrendous headache. I am plugged into disablity services, but got it is the instructors progagitive (sp) whether or not to allow you in class. Oh well at least it is still 100 percent refund time.

Randy...sharpie...LOL

In case I missed anyone because I am feeling airheadness thank you too.
